Nickel-plated M9

Multiplayer

It is the pistol of choice of the USMC, dealing with low damage and low recoil, the weapon has good iron sights and very large ammo capacity, with 15 rounds per magazine, it has the highest amount of rounds per magazine in the pistol category. Using this weapon with a suppressor will cause the weapon to suffer significant range drop in exchange of a stealthy weapon in close quarters. This gun also has the longest range on pistols and deals with good accuracy, making it a versatile handgun at short and medium ranges.

The M9 is a good alternative for automatic handguns, as it has also an unnexistant firecap and has similar damage per bullet than other automatic handguns, plus it deals with long range as other machine pistols.

Using FMJ or Hollow Point on this weapon can be a smart choice as the M9 has low penetration and also a low firepower, using a suppressor with FMJ can maintain the range and penetration of the gun when having a stealth weapon, as the suppressor will cut the range without FMJ, but FMJ will increase range and penetration.
